Friday, June 10th 10pm ET / 9pm CT / 7pm PTThis year we saw a televised exorcism of a home on television. This wasn’t the first time something like this was seen on TV. In 1971 you didn’t find quite as many people that believed in the paranormal. In fact there were very few who would admit they did publicly. 24 yr. old Ed Becker bought a 2 flat for himself and his wife. The couple was awaiting the birth of their child. What they didn’t expect was that the home that they had just bought already had tenants living in the home. The building that was built and occupied by a single family that refused to relinquish their hold, even after death. Investigated and verified by experts, this residence brought chaos to the lives of those who chose to reside there. Long before the laws of disclosure, this couple wound up in the midst of strange occurrences prior to the term 'paranormal' becoming a common description.NBC filmed and televised the exorcism of the home. Edwin F Becker wrote 2 books about this experience. “True Haunting” and “True Haunting 2” is the story of what happened in that home and how it affected the people involved. It is a story that will scare the heck out of you, because it really happened. Ed Becker will be joining us next Friday night to share his story. You won’t want to miss this one. Be here and keep the lights on as we what happened during a “True Haunting”.

Join Supernatural Girlz Helene Olsen and Patricia Baker as they interview Ed Becker. This is the story of a true haunting. It was the first ever filmed and televised by NBC in 1971. A young couple purchases a building that was built and occupied by a single family that refused to relinquish their hold, even after death. Investigated and verified by experts, this residence brought chaos to the lives of those who chose to reside there. Unlike a horror novel, this chronicles what a real ghostly experience would resemble. Long before the laws of disclosure, a young couple winds up in the midst of strange occurrences prior to the term 'paranormal' becoming a common description. Searching for help at time when supernatural events were a taboo subject and being ignored by the Church, sent them into a desperate search for any assistance. Only a little known organization came to their aid. Author Tom Valentine, brought in nationally known psychic, Joseph DeLouise, who then asked assistance of an exorcist from England, Reverend William Derl-Davis. Together, they gave their best effort at exorcising the multiple spirits inhabiting the building and disrupting the lives of the living. Events were filmed by NBC, who sent their most prominent Chicago journalist, Carole Simpson, to cover the event. Hear about the young couple with a newborn as they attempt to cope with inexplicable events, experience denial, plead for help from their Church, and step into the world of the paranormal.
